AWS Route53 documentation change

Service: Route53 · 2025-10-01 · Documentation low

File: Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/outpost-resolver-add-outbound-endpoints.md

Summary

Updated documentation for outbound endpoints, correcting references from 'inbound' to 'outbound' and adjusting security group requirements from inbound port 53 rules to outbound rules using the DNS query port.

Security assessment

Changes clarify configuration requirements but do not address a specific security vulnerability. The security group rule adjustment reflects proper outbound endpoint configuration rather than patching a security flaw.
